Passing to the end of the main street of Gibraltar Main Street, you can get to Trafalgar Cemetery, it got its name in honor of the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, it was previously called Southport Ditch Cemetery. Only 2 burials of the participants in the battle have been reliably recorded - officers who died after the battle from wounds, but there are several dozen unmarked graves in the cemetery, among which there may well be British sailors who died in the historic battle, although most of them found their grave in the sea. Many of the graves are reminiscent of the Battle of Algeciras, the Siege of Cadiz and Malaga, but most of the graves are from the aftermath of three epidemics. This does not prevent commemorative events dedicated to the Battle of Trafalgar from being held here.
